Rig of the month!!

Post by RUChris »

Can this be rig of the month?? it even has 2 power supplies! cus the one was only half working.. and the second one on the bottom has a power button that has to be held in place (hence the wooden stick). It only has 512mb of DDR 400 ram but thats because the motherboard doesn't like 2 sticks of ram (blue screen of death!) and its like Pentium 4 even 3GHz of single core madness! k so maybe not rig of the month then.. it does run windows 7 quite smoothly(ish) even though it almost uses all the ram just for windows. It needed 3 power cords (2 PSU's and the screen) so I "installed" a triple adapter to reduce that to one. Now what was the point?? well I have exams to study for so it was the perfect procrastination! =)

This is what my "puddle of computer" looked like before I built it so very neatly into the case..

Well, I think you certainly deserve some sort of award for that ...

I think this is either a troll, or RUChris was cryogenically frozen for a couple of years and woken up to find his PC still on the desk and remembered the PCF "Rig of the Moth" section. :lol: :lol:

I see IDE, AGP and a CRT monitor. :shock:

I have had an idea. Why don't we make this thread a sticky and post pics of interesting rigs(not awesome trust fund pc's) in it and then at the end of the month we decide which rig is the strangest, most interesting or just plain ridiculous one and name it Rig Of the month or most epic fail rig.... :lol:
